Why it was refused

  1. The window and door alterations and the addition of one bathroom would result in less than substantial harm to the significance and special interest of the Listed Building. The replacement of windows W1, W2, W3, W7, W10 W11 and W12 would incur an unnecessary loss of historic fabric, and would not reflect the historic character of the listed building. This harm is not outweighed by any wider public benefits. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies HA1 and HA7 of the East Herts District Plan 2018, the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
